Japan trip #2

First time going to Japan, it is scary when you find out that the metro/subway/train map is really complicated.



Then finding lunch is a daunting task as well as most cheaper restaurant in Japan does not really speak English.



The good thing is that Japan is all connected by rails, but their Shinkansen is not cheap to be exact, but it is really convenient. Tokyo to Yokohama is less than 30 minutes.



Japanese people, they are just too polite. When watching street performance, they will make sure they are not blocking anyone behind them. Over here, you will get people suddenly stand up in front of you to take selfie or something else.



Of course when you are in Japan, never miss out on their Tonkatsu. Our own local tonkatsu can never ever beat the Tonkatsu in Japan.

Good that the hotels in Japan is not as expensive as in HK.

Dining in a 2 starred michelin restaurant.

If you have nothing to do over the weekend, lets fly to Hong Kong to dine like a boss.

First the food have to be served on a plate made of jade.



Then the condiments have to be distinctive in terms of colours and taste wise.



Then a small plate of special mixed vegetables is served, FOC from the restaurant to stir up our taste bud.



Here comes the real appetizer. Peking duck.



Abalone topped deep fried fish ball.



Fried pork ribs.



Spicy fried prawn. Very fresh.



To be finished off with noodles braised with scallop.

Then dessert, of course.

Ginger ice cream with chia seeds topped vanilla ice cream.



Very filling and satisfying meal. Sad to say we cannot find such meal in our own beloved country.
